Today, 11 September 2026, is the 25th anniversary of 9/11/2001. Never forget. May the innocent souls who perished in these attacks rest in eternal Peace. May the innocent people who survived these attacks, but died later from their injuries or 9/11 attack-related illnesses, rest in eternal Peace. May those who survived these attacks, but live with 9/11 attack-related injuries or illnesses, continue to find proper treatment and compensation for their suffering.

Yours Truly writes today regarding a different type of attack: an attack, in my opinion, on the freedoms that Americans are guaranteed under the Constitution. This attack is in the form of an agreement, signed in August 2026, between the National Institutes of Health — and the United States Department of War. Thanks to 2nd Smartest Guy In The World: https://www.2ndsmartestguyintheworld.com/p/breaking-department-of-war-to-play, “BREAKING: Department of War To Play Larger Role In U.S. Biodefense & Pandemic Preparedness Under New Agreement With NIH”, 5 September 2026. Thanks also to Jon Fleetwood: https://jonfleetwood.substack.com/p/nih-hands-up-to-2-billion-in-future, “NIH Hands Up to $2 Billion in Future Pandemic, Other Emergency Projects to Pentagon Funding Vehicles GAO Still Cannot Track”, 6 September 2026.

The signed agreement is here: https://media.defense.gov/2026/Sep/04/2003992359/-1/-1/0/INTERAGENCY-AGREEMENT-NIH-AND-DOW-REDACTED.PDF. It was signed by NIH director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, MD, PhD, on 5 August 2026; and, by Dr. Robert Kadlec, MD, Assistant Secretary of War for Nuclear Deterrence, Chemical, and Biological Defense Policy and Programs (OASW ND – CBD), on 4 August 2026. The agreement runs for 10 years, until 2036. Dr. Kadlec spent 26 years in the United States Air Force. He was also the lead “architect” of Operation Warp Speed (https://www.acq.osd.mil/ncdbp/leadership/bio-kadlec.html.)

**** It appears that it was the NIH that requested this agreement be drawn up. It appears that the full agreement has not been finalized yet. Please see the screenshots from the signed document, below. Discussion will follow:

Department of War (OASW ND – CBD — Dr. Kadlec) responsibilities in the agreement:

NIH – NIAID (Dr. Bhattacharya, director, NIH; Dr. John H. Powers III, MD, Acting Director, NIAID) responsibilities in the agreement. Note particularly the first item:

The current Acting Director of NIAID is Dr. John H. Powers III, MD; he was appointed to this position by NIH in June, 2026. Dr. Powers is also Deputy Director of NIAID. His biography is below, from https://www.niaid.nih.gov/about/director:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The American public, as of early 2026, was starting to wake up to the following facts: One, that NIH / NIAID had been funding dangerous Gain-of-Function research on deadly pathogens for years — experiments performed in the United States and at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Communist China; Two, that NIH / NIAID hid the information about these experiments from the American public for years; Three, that at least one high-ranking NIAID employee — Dr. David Morens — had destroyed numerous communications related to these experiments; Four, that Dr. Morens destroyed these communications based on either the knowledge and approval of, or on the after-the-fact approval of, Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director of NIAID; Five, that Dr. Fauci consistently lied to Congress in his appearances there to testify about these experiments; Six; that Dr. Fauci was granted a pre-emptive Presidential pardon for any “crimes committed relating to his activities at NIAID” between 2014 and December 2025 by then-President Biden; Seven, that Dr. Fauci pled the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution in response to every question posed to him during his Senate committee appearance in July 2026; Eight, that the COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” are, in fact, dangerous and deadly; Nine, that the American public is beginning to refuse to take modRNA-platform based “vaccines”, including the COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines”; and, Ten, the American public is beginning to realize that these “vaccines” can, and do, induce or aggravate multiple types of illnesses, injuries, and disabilities — and can, and do, cause death — in people who take them. It is also now known that NIH / NIAID and Moderna had signed an agreement regarding co-development of, co-ownership of the Patent for, and sharing of royalty payments for use of, the modRNA-based COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccine”, mRNA-1273 and its “descendant” COVID-19 “vaccines” (SPIKEVAX and mNEXSPIKE.) This agreement is still in force. It is also now known that the then-Department of Defense (now Department of War) had signed cooperative agreements with Pfizer-BioNTech regarding that company’s development and implementation of, the modRNA-based COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccine”, BNT162b2 (COMIRNATY) — agreements that involved the United States Army in various aspects.

The American public is starting to push back on the use of these “vaccines.” The American public is starting to realize that NIAID, under Dr. Anthony Fauci, was funding Gain-of-Function virus research — research that ultimately resulted in the lab-creation of the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus. And what does NIH / NIAID do? NIH signs an agreement in August, 2026 — and said agreement is NOT in the public’s eye until almost a month later — to transfer up to $2 Billion dollars to the Department of War for the funding of MORE Gain-of-Function experiments with modRNA-based platforms — in other words, shifting Gain-of-Function research from NIH / NIAID over to the Departent of War. This funding transfer includes paying Department of War personnel. What happens as the direct result of this signed agreement, in Yours Truly’s opinion, is the merging of NIH / NIAID with the Department of War — with NIH / NIAID as the “silent / funding” partner. No “draft agreement” was put before the American public to read. No “public comment period” before the agreement was drawn up and signed. It can be assumed that HHS Sec. Kennedy, Jr., either knew of this agreement and approved it; or, that he was presented with the signed agreement after the fact, and it was made clear that he could do nothing about it.

Does this mean that the Department of War will, in the future, lab-create the “next latest version” of COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” in conjunction with Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, and Novavax? That the Department of War will, in the future, lab-create the “next latest version” of influenza “vaccines” in conjunction with Big Pharma companies? That NIH / NIAID will, in the future, do “pass back and forth” processes with the Department of War related to the future development of these “vaccines”? Does it mean that NIH / NIAID will, in the future, be answerable to the Department of War, and not to the American people? What happens to the “advisory roles” of the CDC’s ACIP panel, and to the FDA’s VRBPAC panel? — Are they, in the future, going to he under the control of the Department of War? DID DR. JAY BHATTACHARYA ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT HE WAS SIGNING?

**** It appears that NIH is already moving projects over to the Department of War. Please see: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-02799-3, “Revealed: inside the US & military’s plan to tap huge sums from the NIH”, Max Kozlov, 4 September 2026 (correction 5 September 2026). Most of this article is behind a restricted-access wall. Screenshots from the “general public view” section of the article are below:

The X post by Dr. Bhattacharya has to be read to be believed:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The United States military, via the Department of War (formerly, the Department of Defense) has been working in collaboration with Big Pharma and with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for decades; in particular, regarding HHS, working with the FDA / HHS / NIH /NIAID. Katherine Watt, the retired paralegal who closed her Substack earlier this year, wrote extensively about these collaborations. One such collection of her writings, regarding chemical / biological / “vaccines” aspects, is in PDF form, here: https://bailiwicknewsarchives.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/biological-agents-vaccines-chemical-and-biological-warfare-law.pdf.

It appears, in Yours Truly’s opinion, that the collaboration between the Department of War and HHS (NIH /NIAID) has, through the agreement signed between Dr. Robert Kadlec and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya in August, 2026, been taken to a new, and dangerous level: that of NIH / NIAID transferring Gain-of-Function and modRNA-platform “vaccines”development to the Department of War, along with also transferring up to $2 Billion dollars in funding for such activities. This, in Yours Truly’s opinion, is unprecedented. The taxpayers of the United States were not apprised of this situation. It appears that one person — Dr. Robert Kadlec, MD, of the Department of War — is literally now in charge of modRNA-platform “vaccine” development for deployment in BOTH civilians and the military; and, one person — Dr. John H. Powers III, MD — current Acting Director of NIAID — will literally be in charge of funneling NIH / NIAID funds, data, and other research information, to the Department of War; while, at the same time, himself reporting to NIH director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya.

There are many crucial questions about this situation that MUST IMMEDIATELY be answered — with the answers GIVEN TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC. Among them:

**** The NIH is the “requesting agency.” Exactly when was the first “request” made to the Department of War? What person(s), exactly, at NIH, made the “request”? To what person(s) at the Department of War?

**** Was HHS Sec. Kennedy, Jr., consulted before the first “request” from NIH to the Department of War? If so, when was he consulted? If so, did Sec. Kennedy, Jr., approve the first “request” from NIH to the Department of War? If not, did NIH go ahead anyway?

**** Is Pete Hegseth, Department of War secretary, involved in this situation? If so, what type(s) of involvement? Is Sec. Hegseth in contact with Dr. Robert Kadlec, MD? Is Sec. Hegseth in contact with Dr. Jay Bhattacharya of NIH? Is he in contact with both?

**** Did President Donald Trump47 know of the new agreement between NIH and the Department of War? If so, was he consulted on this situation? If so, did he, as Commander-in-Chief, approve it?

**** Is / was, Dr. Erica Schwartz, MD, Rear Adm. (ret.), the current director of the CDC, involved in any way regarding the NIH / DOW agreement? Dr. Schwartz was an important “enforcer” of the COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccine” mandate on the U.S. military.

**** Has, in fact, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) been “merged into” the Department of War in any way whatsoever?

Health Friday 8.21.2026 Open Thread: NIH, NIAID, US Army Fund the Creation of an Avian Influenza Vaccine with Plague-Derived Adjuvant

The free vintage image for today’s offering header of Scène de la peste de 1720 by Michel Serre, of the Great Plague of Marseille, is courtesy of Google Images. For more information about the Great Plague of Marseille, please see: https://www.sciendirect.com/science/article/pii/S0755498222000318, “History of the plague of 1720 – 1722, in Marseille”, Michel Signoli, et al.; September 2022. For more information about the Black Death (Black Plague) in Europe, 1347 – 1351, please see: https://www.britannica.com/event/Black-Death. Note that the article on the Britannica website mentions the fact that the strain of Yersinia pestis (Y. pestis) that caused the Black Death plague in Europe is the ancestral strain of all other plague events since then.

The word “plague” generate images of the Black Death (Black Plague, the Bubonic Plague) that swept through Europe in the mid-1300s. Of thousands of dead people on the streets. Of entire families wiped out in a few days. Of the cries of “Bring out your dead.” And the Black Death is only one example of how devastating the plague can be. There have been numerous other incidents of plague attack, such as the 1720 – 1722 event that struck Marseille, France. Today’s offering discusses a “new aspect” of the plague — of a certain element of it being used as a “vaccine” ingredient. For purposes of today’s offering, Yersinia pestis and Y. pestis are used interchangeably.

There has been concern and discussion regarding the use of certain “adjuvants” in injected drugs (examples: the Hepatitis B “vaccine” uses an aluminum-based adjuvant; certain influenza “vaccines” still use mercury-based adjuvants (thimerosal.) https://www.cdc.gov/vaccine-safety/about/adjuvants.html defines an adjuvant as: “An adjuvant is an ingredient used in some vaccines that helps create a stronger immune response in people receiving the vaccine.” For more information regarding the use of aluminum as an adjuvant, please see: https://www.chop.edu/vaccine-education-center/vaccine-safety/vaccine-ingredients/aluminum. For more information regarding the use of mercury as an adjuvant, please see: https://www.chop.edu/vaccine-education-center/vaccine-safety/vaccine-ingredients/thimerosal. Both of these articles are by Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

However, there are other types of adjuvants that are either now in use, or are being studied for use, in injectable drugs. One such use being studied is the subject of today’s offering: an Avian Influenza “vaccine” adjuvant derived from the Yersinia pestis bacterium (the Black Death, the Black Plague, and also known as the Bubonic Plague.) To repeat: an Avian Influenza “vaccine” adjuvant derived from the Yersinia pestis bacterium (the Black Death, the Black Plague, and also known as the the Bubonic Plague.) Yours Truly begins here, with an article by Jon Fleetwood: https://jonfleetwood.substack.com/p/hhs-funds-chimeric-bird-flu-pandemic, “HHS Funds Chimeric Pandemic Bird Flu Vaccine Made With Engineered Plague Derivative BECC470s: Journal ‘mSphere'”, 13 August 2026. Please see the screenshots from this article, below:

The paper referred to in the Fleetwood article is here: https://journals.asm.org/doi/10.1126/msphere.00171-26, “Optimizing an avian influenza vaccine using a novel Bacterial Enzymatic Combinatorial Chemistry (BECC) TLR4 adjuvant”, Robert K. Ernst, et al.; 10 July 2026. The research was funded primarily via HHS-NIH-NIAID-BAA2017/HHSN272201800043C; via other HHS-NIH-NIAID grants; and, the Center for Vaccine Development and Global Health (University of Maryland School of Medicine.) The work of one co-author, Devon Riley, was funded via the United States Army Long-Term Health and Education Training Program.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

What is BECC470? Please see: https://www.fromtiersin.org/journals/immunology/articles/10.3389/fimmu.2026.187218/full, “Licensed and investigational TLR4 agonists as vaccine adjuvants: Structural basis, clinical progress, and future directions”; Jiasheng Zhou, et al.; 16 July 2026. Note that, except for one co-author of this paper (who is associated with the Communist Chinese version of the CDC), all other co-authors are associated with research institutes in Wuhan, Communist China. A screenshot of section 3.2 of this paper, which describes BECC (Bacterial Enzymatic Combinatorial Chemistry) is below. There are two versions of BECC470: BECC470b (the biological form of the Y. pestis element in the adjuvant); and, BECC470s (the lab-created synthetic form of the Y. pestis element in the adjuvant):

BECC438, BECC470b, and BECC470s are all derived from the lipid A in Y. pestis.

It appears that there are three separate publications of the Robert K. Ernst, et al., paper: the 10 July 2026 paper in the ASM Journals, cited above; another publication, a day later in July 2026, in journal Vaccines (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S02644-10X26005839), “BECC-adjuvanted hemagglutinin influenza vaccine promotes enhanced immunogenicity and protective efficacy”, Robert K. Ernst, et al.; 11 July 2026; and, a Biorxiv preprint version, published in March 2026 (https://www.biorxiv.org/content/early/2026/03/05/2026.03.03.709477.full.pdf, “Optimizing an avian influenza vaccine using a novel Bacterial Enzymatic Combinatorial Chemistry (BECC) TLR4 adjuvant”, Robert K. Ernst, et al.; 5 March 2026. All three of these publications appear to have same parameters: One, that Gain-of-Function experiments were performed with multiple strains of Avian Influenza and then injected into the lab mice; Two, there is no direct mention that BECC438, or BECC470b, or BECC470s, are derived from the lipid A of Y. pestis; and, Three, that BECC adjuvants are “superior” to the other types of adjuvants currently in influenza “vaccines.”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Back to the article by Jon Fleetwood. Something caught Yours Truly’s eye: It appears that the lipid A portion of a certain strain of Y. pestis, called KIM6+, is the one that was chosen to lab-create BECC470b, which was then chemically engineered to create BECC470s. Please see below:

Yours Truly did some digging into KIM6+. The 2023 paper, which also has Robert K. Ernst as co-author, is here: https://www.cell.com/action/showPdf?pii=S2405-8440(23)05327-6, “Physiochemical characterization of biological and synthetic forms of two lipid A-based TLR4 agonists”, Robert K. Ernst, et al.; available online 8 July 2023. Another paper, from 2021, by Bland, et al., discusses the KIM6+ strain of Y. pestis and its infectivity: https://journals.plos.org/plospathogens/article?id=10.1371/journal.ppat.1009995, “Acquisition of Yersinia murine toxin enabled Yersinia pestis to expand the range of mammalian hosts that sustain flea-borne plague”, David M. Bland, et al.; 14 Octocer 2021. Please see below, from the Results section of this paper:

It appears that the KIM6+ strain of Y. pestis is one that has about 50% more capability to infect. And it is the KIM6+ strain that was chosen to lab-create BECC470b; and then to have that chemically engineered to lab-synthesize BECC470s — both of which can be used as vaccine adjuvants.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Robert K. Ernst holds at least two US Patents related to the use of KIM6+-derived Y. pestis lipid A constructs that can be used as adjuvants in vaccines: US10358667B2, 7 January 2016, “Adjusted expiration” of 19 March 2034: and, US11124815B2, 21 September 2021, “Adjusted expiration” of 7 March 2034. Both Patents have the same Title (“Immunotherapeutic Potential of Modified Lipooligosacchardies/Lipid A”); the same Inventors (Robert K. Ernst, et al.); and the same Licenses and Options (Licensed to TollereBio Corporation [Robert K. Ernst], Optioned to Virtici, LLC.)

Reading through US10358667B2, one finds, for example, that a BSL-2 biosafety laboratory level is, apparently, sufficient to work with the KIM6+ lipid A of Y. pestis, and to lab-create BECC470 adjuvants from this bacterium; that BOTH the “biological version” of BECC470 (BECC470b) and the “synthetic version” of BECC470 (BECC470s) can be used as vaccine adjuvants; and, that the BECC470 vaccine adjuvants, per the Patent, section VIII. Use of Exemplary Lipooligosaccharide/Lipid A-based Mimetic Compositions: “…is [sic] useful for…” the following vaccines, among others, listed in the Patent:

measles, mumps, rubella (think MMR);

polio;

plague;

chickenpox;

HPV;

Hepatitis B (think newborn “vaccination” with this one);

pertussis;

tetanus;

and, shigella (Shingles)

And, in fact, Dr. Ernst is at work creating a shigella “vaccine” that includes BECC-engineered adjuvants: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/pii/S0264410X25000763, “BECC-engineered live-attenuated Shigella vaccine candidates display reduced endotoxicity with robust immunogenicity in mice”, Robert K. Ernst, et al.; 19 March 2025. This paper appears, in Yours Truly’s opinion, to “dance around” actually mentioning the apparent use of Y. pestis-derived elements in the Gain-of-Function shigella “vaccine” that was administered to lab mice (administered using various methods, including intramuscular injection and gastric injection.) The paper does list various Patents that are “related” to the paper, including both US10358667B2 and US11124815B2 (discussed above in today’s offering.) The paper also lists the 2018 Ernst, et al., paper regarding the use of Y. pestis-derived BECC438 in a vaccine administered to mice: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0264410X18307680, “A lipid A-based TLR4 mimetic effectively adjuvants a Yersinia pestis rF-V1 subunit vaccine in a murine challenge model”, Robert K. Ernst, et al.; 27 June 2018.

In Yours Truly’s opinion, this entire situation raises important questions, among them: One: Why is the United States government (via HHS / NIH / NIAID), and the United States Army, funding research into using any element of the plague bacterium in a drug of any type, let alone a drug that can be injected? Two: How is it possible that a BSL-2 level laboratory can be considered to have sufficient biosafety to work with any element of the plague bacterium? Three: Why was KIM6+, apparently one of the most deadly and infective lipid A elements of Y. pestis, used to lab-create BECC470b and BECC470s? And, Four: Is it possible to completely “de-nature” the deadly effects of any element of Y. pestis sufficiently for such element to be used as an adjuvant in vaccines?

HHS is Still Funding Gain-of-Function Experiments on the Avian Influenza Virus

Yours Truly begins here: https://jonfleetwood.substack.com/p/hhs-funds-experiments-determining, “HHS Funds Experiments Determining How to Make H5 Influenza More Pathogenic: Journal ‘Science'”, 1 July 2026. Please see the screenshot from this article, below:

The paper cited in the Fleetwood article is here: https://doi.org/10.1126/science.adr6632, “Polymerase trapping as the mechanism of H5 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus genes”; Mathis Funk, et al.; 12 March 2026. This paper was Received on 11 July 2024; Resubmitted on 17 July 2025; Accepted on 21 November 2025; and, Published in print on 12 March 2026. This paper was funded, in part, by NIH / NIAID grants: HHSN2722014-00008C; 75N93201C00014; and, 1R01AI177487. These grants were awarded to Ron A.M. Fouchier and to Mathilde Richard. Dr. Richard and Dr. Fouchier work at Erasmus Medical Center, Rotterdam, The Netherlands. This raises important questions: One: Why was / is NIH-NIAID funding research performed at a university outside of the United States?; and, Two: Why was / is NIH-NIAID continuing to fund research into making the H5 Avian Influenza virus more dangerous and deadly? Please see the screenshots, below, from the AAAS website (https://www.science.org/, American Association for the Advancement of Science) for this paper:

Then, after Gain-of-Function experiments are performed by Funk, et al., with the furin cleavage site of the H5 Avian Influenza virus, they apparently concluded that this virus can become more pathological. Please see the screenshot, below, from the AAAS website for this paper:

The NIH-NIAID grants for this paper were also solicited by Mathis Funk, the lead author of the paper, who was associated with Erasmus University. Mr. Funk passed away on 28 November 2024, at the age of 34. The paper mentions his passing with the statement that he “left the world too soon.”

Yours Truly did some more digging on the NIH-NIAID 1R01AI177487 grant listed above. In addition to the original grant, Dr. Mathilde Richard was also awarded a “sub-grant”, 1R01AI177487-01, on 1 August 2023, with a “Project end date” of 31 July 2028. Please see: https://reporter.nih.gov/search/qKxmt58hnkKa7rYIA1rSKg/projects. The NIH-NIAID employee who is the “Contact” for this grant is Brooke Allison Bozick, PhD. She is listed as “Program officer, Influenza and Rhinovirus Pathogen Biology and Clinical Research” at https://www.niaid.nih.gov/about/respiratory-disease-branch-contacts. Ms. Bozick has been an employee of HHS (NIH – NIAID) since at least 2019, including work involving CEIRR (Centers of Excellence for Influenza Research and Response [NIAID].) This raises the question: Why is NIH – NIAID funding the Gain-of-Function work of Dr. Richard all the way up to 31 July 2028?

Yours Truly did some more digging on the HHSSN27220140008C grant listed above. This grant been active since at least 2016. In fact, this grant ALSO funded Gain-of-Function research at the (infamous) Dr. Yoshihiro Kawaoka lab for research into Avian Influenza at the University of Wisconsin-Madison: https://wisc.edu/h7n9-influenza-is-both-lethal-and-transmissible-in-animal-model-for-flu/, Kelly April Tyrrell, 19 April 2017. The mention of the HHSN grant is at the end of the article.

Yours Truly did some more digging on the NIH-NIAID 75N93021C00014 grant listed above. This grant has been active since at least 2021. In fact, this grant ALSO funded Gain-of-Function research on Avian Influenza at the Kawaoka lab at the University of Wisconsin; at the University of Tokyo; and, at Cairo University, Egypt. Please see: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ebiom.2025.105842, “Susceptibility and shedding in Mx1 and Mx1- female mice experimentally infected with dairy cattle A(H5N1) influenza viruses”, Asim Biswas, et al.; Published 8 July 2025.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Now, to another item: it appears that HHS, via NIH-NIAID, is still funding Gain-of-Function research involving personnel connected with the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV.) Yes, WIV — where Dr. Zheng-li Shi took the samples of the “enhanced with SHC014 bat coronvirus lab-created SARS-CoV-2 virus “template” that was “invented” and Patented by Dr. Ralph Baric, PhD, at his lab at UNC Chapel Hill: for the purpose of FURTHER ENHANCING this “template virus” in order to make MORE PATHOGENIC AND MORE LETHAL. Which SARS-CoV-2 virus was released into the world in late 2019, presumably, as a “lab leak”; and, presumably, before the virus was “finished” via the “enhancement process” at WIV. However, nobody knows for sure whether or not the SARS-CoV-2 virus (that became known as COVID-19) was “finished”, or if it was “still in the finishing process” when it was released. The HHS grants involved are: K08AI183990 (NIH-NIAID; granted in 2024 to the University of Washington, to John K. Bui); R01AI174304 (NIH-NIAID; granted in 2023 to the University of Washington, to Andre Michael Lieber); and, R01HL130040 (HL-NHLBI-NIH-HHS; granted in 2019, with continuing funding, to the University of Washington, to Andre Michael Lieber.)

The paper that was Epublished on 13 March 2026, funded by these grants, is here: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ymthe.2026.03.018, “In vitro and in vivo base editing of CCR5 in hematopoeitic stem cells confers HIV-1 resistance”, Anna K. Anderson, Chang Li, et al. Chang Li is affiliated with the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Please see the screenshot of the Abstract from this paper, below:

And, from the paper, the affiliation of Chang Li with the Wuhan Institute of Virology, from the Affiliations and Notes drop-down section:

This raises the question: Why is this research, while worthy and can produce significant positive results, has anyone from the Wuhan Institute of Virology involved?

In summary: the United States government, via HHS (NIH-NIAID) is still using taxpayer money to fund Gain-of-Function research on the Avian Influenza virus in The Netherlands, in Japan, and in Egypt; and, to fund Gain-of-Function research on elements of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) that involves personnel from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. None of this is acceptable.

Yours Truly wishes one and all a Happy New Year 2026.

Special Note regarding today’s offering: In no way is the following, or The Baric Files in general in the Health Friday posts, to be construed as a “character assassination”, or as an “indictment”, or as any other type of attack or smear on the Ralph Baric, PhD, of the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, or of his lab at the university. The linked scientific papers, images therefrom, and other information about Dr. Baric (such as, his Curriculum Vitae [1]) are all available on the internet. The ideas and conclusions of today’s offering are by Yours Truly. There is a plethora of information related to Dr. Baric; Yours Truly will focus on a few of them in each part of The Baric Files.

Today’s offering is Part Three of six. For other information regarding Dr. Baric, please see: https://www.theqtree.com/2025/12/05/health-friday-12-5-2025-open-thread-the-baric-files-part-one/; and, https://www.theqtree.com/2025/12/12/heatlh-friday-12-12-2025-open-thread-the-baric-files-part-two-of-mice-rabbits-and-ai-23946/.

The Baric Files, Part Three: Patents; Dr. Anthony Fauci

Patents:

Ralph S. Baric, PhD, owns 25 to 30 Patents (depending on whether one is looking at, for example, https://justia.com/patents/, or at https://patents.google.com/, or at NIH RePorter at https://report.nih.gov/) related to items he found or created during his research journey into coronaviruses and/or his Gain-of-Function experiments. What is definite, however, is that our old friend, NIH grant AI23946 (also called AI023946) figures in at least three of these Patents: Patent Number 6593111; Patent Number 7279327; and, Patent Number 7618802 — all of which are associated with his lab the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill.

Patent Number 6593111 is titled, “Directional assembly of large viral genomes and chromosomes.”

Patent Number 7279327 is titled, “Methods of Producing Recombinant Coronaviruses.”

Patent Number 7618802 is titled, “Methods and compositions for infectious cDNA of SARS coronavirus.”

Yours Truly will focus on Patent Number 6593111 [2], the timeline of which Patent begins on 5 May 2001. The NIH grant AI023946 has been “extended” several times; in this Patent, it is called “AI023946-08“, and the Patent Number has been changed to “US6593111B2.” By now, Dr. Baric’s research journey has taken him to experimenting with coronaviruses that infect pigs: in particular, the TGE virus (Transmissible Gastroenteritis virus, also called Transmissible Gastroenteritis Coronavirus [TGEV].) The following screenshots are from the Patent document. The screenshots are, in order: the Abstract; the Events summary; the first paragraph of the Summary of the Invention section; from the Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments discussion section; and, Fig. 1a and Fig. 2 from the images in the Patent document:

Note, in the screenshot above, the mention of “vaccines and expression vectors”; and, the sentence, “The vectors may be targeted to other species by, for example, replacing the S glycoprotein gene.” This paragraph, in Yours Truly’s’ opinion, begins the eventual “tie-into evolution” of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. In other words — Gain-of-Function research and application.

However, there is another item in Patent Number US6593111B2 that is interesting: the list of Legal Events near the end of the document. A screenshot of this list is below:

Note that UNC (Baric lab) “transferred” the ownership of the Patent to the NIH in 2008. Note also that on 18 January 2011, someone at NIH must have sent the Patent Fee payment that would be good for eight years. A Fee payment for a Patent is a “Patent Maintenance Fee” that “preserve a patent.” [3] Note also, that on 15 January 2015, someone at NIH must have sent the Patent Fee payment that would good for twelve years (thus theoretically preserving the Patent until January 2027.) However, on the Events Summary list for Patent Number US6593111B2 (in the images above), it lists the Patent as Status Expired – Lifetime. This brings up some questions: To what person at NIH was Patent US6593111 transferred to in 2008? The NIH Director in June 2008 was Elias Zerhouni, MD [4]. When he left the NIH, who did he designate to take over NIH ownership of the Patent? Is Patent US6593111B2 still in force, even though it is listed as “Status Expired – Lifetime?” Is it still in force, but under a different name?

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Anthony Fauci, MD, Director of NIAID 1984 – 2022:

It can be assumed that Dr. Ralph Baric, PhD, had been on the “radar” of Dr. Anthony Fauci, MD, Director of the NIAID division (National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases division) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) since at least 1984, if not before (Dr. Fauci had joined NIH in 1968, shortly after completing his medical Residency.) This “being on his radar” situation, in Yours Truly’s opinion, would have included, at the least, what may be called a “bowing acquaintance” with Dr. Baric through NIAID funding applications and grants dispersements reports.

In fact, NIH / NIAID (and, it can be assumed, within the knowledge of Dr. Anthony Fauci), was funding Dr. Barics’s Gain-of-Function research on coronaviruses as far back as at least the year 2003 [5]. The 2003 paper not only describes what can only be called Gain-of-Function experiments with SARS coronaviruses; it also describes the Baric-invented “No see ‘m” procedure for covering up gene code insertions in the lab-creation of SARS coronavirus “clone” viruses. Please see the screenshots from this paper, below. Note that our old friend, NIH grant AI23946, was involved in the funding of the 2003 paper. Below are: the Abstract, the Figure 1., and, the Acknowledgements sections from this paper:

Note that one of the co-authors of the 2003 paper is Thomas M. Geisbert, of the the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (also known as USAMRIID, located at Fort Detrick, Maryland.)

Another example of NIH / NIAID / Dr. Anthony Fauci funding Gain-of-Function research by Dr. Baric is NIH grant R01AI059136-04, from 2004 [6]. Please see the screenshots from the documents on this grant, below: of the Title for the grant; the Abstract; the Funding Agency; and, the receiving Institution:

Dr. Fauci has denied ever knowing Dr. Baric. However, there is evidence to the opposite: Please see the screenshots, below, from a February 2023 U.S. Right to Know article by Emily Kopp [7]:

A screenshot of a photo from the Emily Kopp article:

The official work calendar for Dr. Anthony Fauci was released via FOIA from Open The Books [8]. The calendar shows that Dr. Fauci met with Dr. Baric in February 2020. A screenshot from the article in Open The Books on this situation is below:

An article by Sainath Suryanarayanan in U.S. Right to Know related to Dr. Baric’s emails early in the COVID-19 pandemic [9]. These emails were either from Dr. Baric, or were sent to him as part of a group email from various institutions and/or government agencies and/or from medical professionals in these institutions or agencies. In these emails, the “code name” for the burgeoning COVID-19 virus infection situation in the United States was “Red Dawn Responding, Start 16 March.” The emails were released through a public records request.

By the way, Dr. Baric and his lab at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill worked with Gilead Sciences to create remdesivir (Veklury), a COVID-19 treatment drug that can have a mortality rate of 50%, and also can cause kidney damage [10] [11] [12] [13]. Please see the screenshots below; the first, from the University of North Carolina article about the creation of remdesivir; the others are also items regarding this drug:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

It is apparent that by at least the year 2003, Dr. Baric’s research journey was shifting to methods and applications for the cloning of coronaviruses, including his invention of the “No see ‘m” method of covering up insertions into coronavirus gene code pieces in the lab-creation of the cloning of coronaviruses to make such insertions “un-traceable.”

To be continued in The Baric Files: Part Four.

Health Friday 8.29.2025 Open Thread: Gain-of-Function Research Is Still Going On

The featured vintage image of a laboratory for today’s offering is courtesy of iStock and Google Images.

Health Friday is a series devoted to information about Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics.

There are Important Notifications from our host, Wolf Moon; the Rules of our late, good Wheatie; and, certain caveats from Yours Truly, of which readers should be aware. They are linked here. Note: Yours Truly has checked today’s offering for any AI-generated content. To the best of her knowledge and belief, there is none, except perhaps for AI-generated images in links included in today’s post. If readers wish to add any AI-generated content to the discussion thread today, they must cite their source. Thank you.

Today’s offering is about the “under-the-table” work, the “being performed but under another name” work, the “grandfathered-in” work, of Gain-of-Function (GoF) experiments that are onoing. These GoF experiments involve experiments with mRNA-based platforms; with “inactivated virus” platforms; and, with “novel delivery” platforms. These GoF experiments are being funded by “private Big Money”; and, by the United States government (in other words, with taxpayer money.) This post is long; please bear with me.

It is now well-known that the COVID-19 disaster was a product of GoF experiments, of two types: One, the GoF work that was performed in various labs (the Baric Lab at UNC, Chapel Hill; the Wuhan Institute of Virology, Wuhan, Communist China; the United States Army biological weapons labs at Ft. Detrick, Maryland, among others.) And, Two, the GoF work that was performed using the lab-created Wuhan Hu1 SARS-CoV-2 virus itself as the foundation for the modRNA (aka mRNA) COVID-19 “vaccines” that were developed by numerous companies, among them: PfizerUSA (at the company’s Pearl River, New York, facility; and, at other facilities); and, BioNTech (Mainz, Germany); Moderna (with the NIAID in Bethesda, Maryland, and at other facilities) — for use in the United States and also world-wide. (Note: PfizerUSA and BioNTech are separate companies that operate as a “joint venture” called Pfizer-BioNTech. PfizerUSA and BioNTech each have a separate CEO [Chief Executive Officer].)

Three articles by Jon Fleetwood start today’s offering. The first is here: https://jonfleetwood.substack.com/p/260-children-infected-with-tubersulosis, “260 Children Infected With Tuberculosis in Gates-Funded Study Injecting Children with Live Mycobacterium bovis Bacteria: “New England Journal of Medicine'”, 8 May 2025. The second is here: https://jonfleetwood.substack.com/p/new-bill-gates-funded-chimeric-polio, “New Bill Gates-Funded Chimeric Polio Vaccine Sheds 100% in Recipients, Spread Documented: ‘The Lancet’ Journal”, 18 August 2025. The third is here: https://jonfleetwood.substack.com/p/bill-gates-funds-slim-microneedle, “Bill Gates Funds ‘SLIM’ Microneedle Tech That Self-Assembles Inside the Body”, 24 April 2025.

Regarding the first Jon Fleetwood article: The 260 study subject children were living in South Africa, and were between the ages of 10 and 18 years. They were confirmed by to be HIV-negative at the time they were added to the study subject pool. They were injected with the Danish tuberculosis vaccine BCG1331 strain (Bacille Calmette-Guerin). The Package Insert for this vaccine is here: https://nibsc.org/documents/ifu/07-270.pdf. The BCG1331 strain is the Mycobacterium bovis strain, which causes tuberculosis in cattle and can also cause the disease in humans, especially in HIV-compromised persons. Please see the screenshot from the Fleetwood article, below:

The paper that resulted from the study is here: https://doi.org/10.1056/NEJMoa2412381, “BCG Revaccination for the Prevention of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection”, Alexander C Schmidt, et al., 8 May 2025. Please see the screenshot from this paper, below:

In other words, 260 children now have tuberculosis because of the BCG1331 strain vaccine that they were injected with. And that Bill Gates funded this “human guinea-pig experiment.” But there’s more — the Fleetwood article also describes the Bill Gates-funded Mycobacterium bovis experiments at the University of Texas, performed in 2012, that resulted in a what may be called a “turbo-charged Gain-of-Function” version of this tuberculosis bacterium. The paper that was published from the 2012 study is here: https://doi.org/10.1016/S1472-9792(13)70007-6, “Mycobacterium tuberculosis MtrAY102C is a gain-of-function mutant that potentially acts as a constitutively active protein”, Akash T Satsangi, et al., published December 2013.

Regarding the second Fleetwood article: Another Bill Gates-funded effort, this time about a lab-created chimeric polio oral “vaccine” that was tested on human subjects in the United States. The study results are nothing short of terrifying. Please the screenshot from the Fleetwood article, below:

There was a 100% incidence of “shedding” of this lab-created chimeric oral polio “vaccine.” Six human subjects were released from the study when it was found that testing of their stool showed they had possibly contracted the oral vaccine virus from other study subjects. Several human subjects had severe adverse reactions to this lab-created chimeric oral polio “vaccine.” This lab-created chimeric oral polio “vaccine” caused “unexpected” interactions with the type 2 poliovirus.

The team that lab-created this chimeric oral polio “vaccine” were from medical centers across the United States, including: University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill; University of Vermont; and, Dartmouth. The paper that was published from the study is here: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(25)00285-3/fulltext, “Safety and immunogenicity of novel live attenuated type 1 and type 3 oral poliomyelitis vaccines in healthy adults in the USA: a first-in-human, observer-masked, multicentre, phase 1 randomized controlled trial”, Laina D Mercer, PhD, et al., 13 August 2025. The clinical trial for this lab-created chimeric polio virus “vaccine” is listed here: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT04529538. Again, from the Fleetwood article:

Regarding the third Fleetwood article: Bill Gates has funded the creation of a new technology, called “SLIM microneedle”, which injects “microcrystals” of a contraceptive drug (levonorgestrel) into the body of a female; and, which microcrystals then”self-assemble” into an “implant” inside her body. Please see the screenshot from the Fleetwood article on this situation, below:

This type of “self-injected, self-assembly inside the body” approach has profound implications. Please see below, again from the Fleetwood article:

The paper that was published on this issue is here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s44286-025-00194-x, “Self-aggregating long-lasting injectable microcrystals”, Vivian K. Feig, et al., 24 March 2025. Note how “self-assembling” has magically become “self-aggregating” — in some attempt to hide the fact that the microcrystals really do “self-assemble?”

The SLIM “delivery system” for the contraceptive levonorgestrel (called “LNG” in the paper above) uses a solvent called Benzyl Benzoate (called “BB” in the paper above.) The paper describes the experiments performed to find the “right combination” of levonorgestrel + Benzyl Benzoate to create the SLIM delivery system — the “winning delivery system candidate” was named “LNG-BB.” Benzyl Benzoate is clearly dangerous. Part of Section 4 FIRST AID MEASURES from the MSDS Safety Sheet on Benzyl Benzoate from Spectrum Chemical (https://www.spectrumchemical.com/) is below:

And this is the “long-lasting solvent” that is used in the SLIM microneedle “self-aggregating” delivery system for levonorgestrel. Which means that this solvent will be acting in the body of the female who uses this delivery system for this drug for an (undetermined) amount of time.

Now, on to a recent GoF experiment, this one funded by NIH / NIAID, at the University of Pittsburgh. This GoF experiment resulted in the lab-creation of a chimeric H5N1 Avian Influenza virus strain that could infect dairy cattle. Jon Fleetwood wrote about this situation, here: https://jonfleetwood.substack.com/p/nih-funded-pennsylvania-researchers, “NIH-Funded Pennsylvania Researchers Build New Frankenstein Bird Flu Virus: ‘Journal of Virology'”, 26 August 2025. Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) is a virus that infects horses and cattle. In humans, Stomatitis infection can result in HSV-1 (the “cold sore” virus: per https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/stomatitis-oral-mucositis.) However, the researchers at the University of Pittsburgh concentrated on “splicing” an element of VSV with H5N1. The paper that was published from this experiment is here: https://doi.org/10.1128/jvi.00621-25, “Dairy cattle herds mount a characteristic antibody response to highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza viruses”, Kevin R. McCarthy, et al., 25 August 2025. Please see the screenshots from the Fleetwood article on this issue, below:

Isn’t it “convenient timing” that this “new, chimeric VSV + H5N1 virus” comes on the heels of the announcement by the White House on 5 May 2025, that Gain-of-Function research would be stopped — but it appears that “certain contracts” would be permitted to “finish out”? And, that one of those “certain contracts” is with Arcturus Therapeutics for its self-amplifying RNA (saRNA) Avian Influenza “vaccine”, ARCT-2304? The White House announcement is here: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/05/improving-the-safety-and-security-of-biological-research/. The news release related to the second quarter 2025 financial update and “pipeline progress” for Arcturus Therapeutics in which ARCT-2304 is mentioned, is here: https://www.biospace.com/press-releases/arcturus-therapeutics-announces-second-quarter-2025-financial-update-and-pipeline-progress, 12 August 2025. The clinical trial for ARCT-2304 is registered here: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT06602531; which, by the way, has NO saline-only Placebo control group; the only “control groups” in the study will be injected with a “control vaccine” or a “placebo vaccine” (which last, in and of itself, is not a true Placebo.)

And now, regarding something else: the GoF experiments that resulted in the lab-creation of an Avian Influenza “vaccine” which is a “Cocktail of Inactivated Avian Influenza Viruses”, a patent owned by Dr. Jeffery Taubenberger, a “career medical employee” of HHS and the federal government, and who is also the current Acting Director of the NIAID (National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, previously headed by Dr. Anthony Fauci), and who now is in control of the $500 Million dollars that was pulled from mRNA research activities in May 2025. This “bird flu vaccine cocktail” contains BPL (Beta-propiolactone), a known carcinogen.

The NIH TechTransfer information on this “cocktail” invention by Dr. Taubenberger is here: https://www.techtransfer.nih.gov/tech/tab-3388, “Broadly Protective Influenza Vaccine Compromising a Cocktail of Inactivated Avian Influenza Viruses”. Sounds “benign,” yes? Until one starts reading the actual Patent document itself, found here: https://image-ppubs.uspto.gov/dirsearch-public/print/downloadPdf/11369675, filed 21 July 2020. The following are screenshots from the Patent document:

Note it appears that Dr. Taubenberger was experimenting with as many as sixteen different strains of Avian Influenza to lab-create his “cocktail vaccine.”

Note it appears that Dr. Taubenberger is perfectly all right with “vaginal” and “rectal” administration of his “cocktail vaccine.”

Note that the Patent was registered in July 2020 — which can only mean that work on the experiments to lab-create this “Avian Influenza cocktail vaccine” must have begun at least nine months earlier. This would place the commencement of the experiments around October 2019 — just before the COVID-19 original virus was unleashed on on the world.

Here are two screenshots from the MSDS Safety Sheet for Beta-propiolactone from Sigma Aldritch (https://www.sigmaaldritch.com/US/en/sds/sigma/p5648):

And THIS ingredient is part of the “Avian Influenza Cocktail Vaccine” of Dr. Jeffery Taubenberger, two possible methods of administration of which are INTRANASAL or INHALED, per the Patent document images above?

It is not enough that HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., terminated 22 contracts for mRNA research in May of this year, but allowed “certain contracts” for mRNA (and saRNA) research to “finish out.” It is not enough that the White House announced a ban on Gain-of-Function research, since this type of research is still going on — funded by “private Big Money”, and/or by the NIH / NIAID (in other words, the United States government). The entire Gain-of-Function situation must be stopped, from all funding sources and on all levels of research and experimentation — until there are clear, firm, and enforceable regulations and restrictions on who can perform this type of research; that such research can only be permitted under strict circumstances; that such research must be under tight supervision; and, that such research can only be performed where there is a clear need in the area of public health — not what amounts to a “chimeric fishing expedition” to lab-create viruses. It is time for any and all “go-along-to-get-along” activities to stop — such as, bowing to the “demand” by Sen. Dr. Bill Cassidy for his “cooperation” in “working with” HHS as regards hiring, or anything else. By the way — Sen. Dr. Cassidy has received donations from multiple pharmaceutical entities (United Health, AstraZeneca, Pediatrix Medical Group, and so on: per Open Secrets (https://opensecrets.org/.) And — that the further development of the above-discussed “Avian Influenza Cocktail Vaccine” must be stopped.

HHS Secretary Kennedy, Jr.: Please understand that the “career medical bureaucrats” in the CDC, the FDA, and the other divisions of the HHS, are not inclined to your views. They want “the good old days” of these divisions brought back. They are working “behind the scenes” in some instances, and in other instances, out in the open, to obstruct, delay, and thwart your efforts to clean up HHS and “re-tool” the department to reflect Make American Healthy Again. There is even what may be called “soft interference” by persons not employed by HHS such as, Sen. Dr. Cassidy.

THERE. MUST. BE. ACCOUNTABILITY.

THERE. MUST. BE. JUSTICE.

THERE. MUST. BE. TRUTH.

Health Friday 8.22.2025 Open Thread: “Clean Sweep” Edition: An Opinion Piece

The header image of smallpox vaccination in Paris in 1905 used in today’s offering is courtesy of Alamy and Google Images.

Health Friday is a series devoted to information about Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. As today’s offering speaks of the disaster of COVID-19, Yours Truly dedicates it to all persons, of whatever age or location, who have suffered injuries, illnesses, or disabilities, either COVID-19 “vaccine”-induced, or as the result of a COVID-19 infection; and, to all persons, of whatever age or location, who have passed away either from the negative effects of the COVID-19 “vaccines” they had in their bodies, or as the result of a COVID-19 infection.

There are Important Notifications from our host, Wolf Moon; the Rules of our late, good Wheatie; and, certain caveats from Yours Truly, of which readers should be aware. They are linked here. Note: Yours Truly has checked today’s offering for any AI-generated content. To the best of her knowledge and belief, there is none, except for AI-generated images that may be included in links in today’s offering. If readers wish to add any AI-generated content to the discussion thread today, they must cite their source. Thank you.

“Clean Sweep.” This means completely dismantling the FDA (the Food and Drug Administration); the NIH (the National Institutes of Health); and, the NIAID (the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases), all of which are divisions of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) — and completely rebuilding them from the top down. Why “Clean Sweep” for these divisions? Because it is becoming more apparent by the week that they are more devoted to using “career” medical bureaucrats/officials, many of whom are “holdovers” from the “Collins / Fauci era” in the NIH and NIAID; they are more devoted to injecting American citizens with the proven-dangerous, proven-deadly COVID-19 “vaccines” than they are to approving readily-available, cheap drugs (such as, Ivermectin) and other therapeutics (such as, Zinc) to prevent or to treat COVID-19 infection; and, they are more devoted to pushing through injectables via “Fast Track” or “accelerated approval” methods, rather than taking the time to fully test and analyze test data. “Completely rebuilding them from the top down” means establishing entirely redesigned divisions that are fully devoted to the betterment of the public health.

Yours Truly presents a transcript of the op-ed published in the Washington Post on 12 August 2025 by Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, the current Director of the NIH (National Institutes of Health); the op-ed appears here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinons/2025/08/12/nih-mrna-vaccines-jay-bhattacharya/, “Jay Bhattacharya: Why the NIH is pivoting away from mRNA vaccines”, 12 August 2025. Yours Truly provides her personal commentary, which will appear in Bold and surrounded in brackets. (The Washington Post op-ed is behind a paywall; Yours Truly is indebted to Shannon Joy, whose X tweet has the entire article: https://xcancel.com/ShannonJoy/status/1956140133474034025.) Note: Yours Truly will make it clear that the commentary is done with all due respect to Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, MD.

The transcript:
“The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ decision to wind down its mRNA vaccine development activities marks a necessary pivot in how we steward public health innovation in vaccines. The right path requires us to consider the inherent strengths and weaknesses of a technology as well as any alternatives, along with public attitudes and experience with the technology. The mRNA platform is promising technology. I do not dispute its potential. In the future, it may yet deliver breakthroughs in treating diseases such as cancer, and HHS is continuing to invest in ongoing research in oncology and other complex diseases.”

[YT: First of all, if HHS is truly going to “wind down” mRNA vaccine development, why is Moderna being allowed to progress to Phase 3 clinical trials of its modRNA “vaccine” against CMV (Cytomegalovirus), mRNA-1647? This “vaccine” contains six different mRNA sequences, two different antigens, the dangerous lipid nanoparticle SM-102 (the same LNP that is in the Moderna modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine”, SPIKEVAX), and apparently targets both the IgG immune system cells and the CD4-CD8 cells of the body. Please see: https://doi.org/10.1128/jvi.01603-23, “Characterization of humoral and cellular immunologic responses to an mRNA-based human cytomegalovirus vaccine from a phase 1 trial of healthy adults”, Kai Wu, et al.; J Virol. 2024 Mar 25;18(4):e01603-23. Please refer to Fig. 2 and Fig.4. Secondly, the current modRNA (aka mRNA) COVID-19 “vaccines” have demonstrated that they do not have “inherent strengths”: in fact, they only have what may be called “inherent dangers.” These “inherent dangers” include: altering of the LINE1 Human Liver cell line; replacement of natural Uridine RNA with the lab-created N1-Methylpseudouridine; crossing the Blood-Brain Barrier to attack areas of the brain that are not protected by this barrier (for example, the Pituitary Gland); causing autoimmune attack on heart tissue via aggregation of lymphocytes induced by the COVID-19 “vaccines” in that organ; and, causing infiltration of lymphocytes in lung tissue. Regarding the DNA alteration, and heart and lung damage, caused by the COVID-19 “vaccines”, please see: https://doctors4covidethics.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/causality-article.pdf, “Vascular and organ damage induced by mRNA vaccines: irrefutable proof of causality”, Michael Palmer, MD, and Sucharit Bhakdi, MD, Slide 9 through Slide 14. Thirdly, why on Earth is oncology (cancer study, diagnosis, and treatment) included in the phrase “and other complex diseases?” Yours Truly calls this a writing mistake; however, one believes someone should have proofread the op-ed for “context or syntax” issues before publication.]

“But as a vaccine intended for broad public use, especially during a public health emergency, the platform has failed a crucial test: earning public trust. No matter how elegant the science, a platform that lacks credibility among the people it seeks to protect cannot fulfill its public health mission.”

[YT: The “public trust” for the COVID-19 “vaccines” was destroyed when it was proven that hundreds of persons who took these injectables passed away from immediate heart attacks induced by them just after being injected; when “vaccinated” persons began to present with myocarditis or pericarditis after being injected; when stillbirths and miscarriages began to be reported among pregnant women who had been injected; and much, much more. And, by the way, the initial modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine” rollout in December 2020 was intended for the elderly and for healthcare workers; it was when the “COVID-19 health emergency” was declared in March 2021 that the “vaccines” began to be “mandated” for all persons. “Elegant science?” Does “elegant science” include the kind of “science” that was rushed through the initial EUAs for the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” without proper testing and data analyses?]

“It is critical to understand the development of the mRNA coronavirus vaccines in the context of the very successful Operation Warp Speed launched during the first Trump administration.”

[YT: Does “the development of the mRNA coronavirus vaccines” include the fact that neither Pfizer-BioNTech, nor Moderna, had never previously brought a successful mRNA injectable to market prior to “Operation Warp Speed?” And that Dr. Albert Bourla, DVM, the CEO of PfizerUSA, admitted on video that he had been “convinced” by Pfizer scientists to use the then-new and unproven mRNA technology in a COVID-19 “vaccine?” (10 March 2022, “Albert Bourla on why mRNA technology was “counterintuitive” to producing an effective vaccine”, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9_YRw7jBF4.)]

“Operation Warp Speed represented a paradigm shift in how the government should invest in new technologies and solutions and embrace strategic investments in public-private partnerships, innovation in trial design and removal of bureaucratic red tape to allow parallel rather than sequential vaccine development. It produced a new vaccine in record time and also helped develop a successful monoclonal antibody.”

[YT: Really? “Embrace strategic partnerships in public-private partnerships?” What about that “public-private partnership” document between the NIAID and Moderna, which includes development of RNA-based vaccines, and that was filed with the SEC in 2015, several years BEFORE the COVID-19 disaster? That “partnership” is still going on, with patent-ownership sharing, royalty payments sharing, “partnering” in developing new COVID-19 “vaccines”, and so on, until at least 2041. “Innovation in trial design?” — Meaning the “Next Gold Generation Standard”, announced in May 2025, in which lab testing with animals using humane, safe protocols, then progressing to better and safer human-subject testing, may well be replaced with “Petri-dish testing” only” for new “vaccines”? “Parallel vaccine development?” — Meaning that “Universal Vaccine” that’s touted in the “Next Gold Generation Standard?”]

“Unfortunately, the Biden administration did not manage public trust in the coronavirus vaccines, largely because it chose a strategy of mandates rather than a risk-based approach and did not properly acknowledge Americans’ growing concerns regarding safety and effectiveness.”

[YT: So, “risk-based approach?” Like the “risk populations chart” in the “opinion piece” that Dr.Martin Makary and Dr. Vinay Prasad published in the New England Journal of Medicine in May 2025 (https://doi.org/10.1056/NEJMsb2506929, “An Evidence-Based Approach to Covid-19 Vaccination”— a chart in which, for example, even healthy pregnant women are considered to be at “risk” for “severe complications from COVID-19” and should get COVID-19 “vaccinated?” And what about the statements about how the “known and potential benefits of the for COVID-19 vaccines outweigh the known and potential risks?” — like the one here: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/planning/children/6-things-to-know.html, “6 Things to Know about COVID-19 Vaccination for Children.“]

“Consider the data: In a late 2024 Pew Research Center survey, 60 percent of American adults reported no intention of getting an updated coronavirus mRNA vaccine despite the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s advice that nearly all adults receive yet another dose. As of late April 2025 (the latest data published reported by the CDC), only 13 percent of children between the ages of 6 months and 17 years had received an updated coronavirus vaccine, even though the Biden-era CDC had placed the vaccine on the childhood immunization schedule.”

[YT: It appears that the real reason behind why “only 13 percent of children between the ages of 6 months and 17 years had received an updated coronavirus vaccine” is that their parents or guardians have concluded that these “vaccines” are more dangerous than helpful. And how did these adults come to this conclusion? Because of the news spreading that these “vaccines” cause myocarditis / pericarditis in children; because of the news spreading that these “vaccines” do not prevent COVID-19 infection, but instead actually damage the “vaccinated” person’s immune system, making it vulnerable to COVID-19 infection; and so on. In Yours Truly’s opinion, the COVID-19 “vaccines” have no place in the CDC Childhood Immunization Schedule whatever — due to the foregoing and other reasons.]

“In 2021, the Biden administration’s HHS spent nearly a billion dollars on a campaign supporting the coronavirus vaccine, the most expensive pharmaceutical campaign in history. The government spent the money on a vast number of TV, radio and internet spots, which misinformed the American public that the vaccine would protect them from contracting and spreading covid. Nevertheless, just a few years later, less than half the U.S. adult population will heed the CDC’s guidance. Some outlets have blamed the poor coronavirus mRNA vaccine uptake on poor messaging or “anti-vax” counter-messaging. But the Biden administration made suppression of speech — and a mandate for all on the vaccines — into a priority.”

[YT: Perhaps Dr. Bhattacharya should look at the FDA Package Insert for the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine”, COMIRNATY (Pfizer-BioNTech), section 1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE. The Package Insert is here: https://www.fda.gov/media/151707/download. Notice that the FDA officially states that COMIRNATY is “to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19.)” Is the FDA “spreading misinformation?”

“The failure was thus not a communications problem. It is a trust problem due to the Biden administration’s scientific overreach, public pressure and, frankly, arrogance.”

[YT: Does this mean that “the new FDA”, and the “Next Generation Gold Standard”, and the “accelerated approval” of “vaccines” that may be lab-created in Petri-dishes will somehow magically restore public trust?]

“In addition to the trust problem, the mRNA technology has special biological features that make it different from other vaccines in that it (ideally) instructs our cells to produce proteins that subsequently invoke an immune response. To do so with complete confidence about vaccine safety and efficacy requires an exact understanding of dosage, biodistribution and off-target effects. Unfortunately, we fall short in all three. We lack clarity on how much antigen each mRNA molecule produces, where in the body the mRNA product winds up, how long it stays in the body, and whether unintended proteins are created.”

[YT: Unfortunately, this paragraph, in Yours Truly’s opinion, “has more holes than a Swiss cheese.” First: the mRNA “vaccines” do instruct the cells of the “vaccinated” person to “invoke an immune response”: that “response”, among other things, causes multiple types of autoimmune attack within the COVID-19 “vaccinated” person’s body — for example, in the heart (please refer above to the article by Doctors For COVID Ethics.) Second: Perhaps Dr. Bhattacharya would like to read this report, which Pfizer-BioNTech gave to the FDA in January 2021, regarding the biodistribution of BNT162b2 (FDA-approved in 2022 as COMIRNATY.) The report is here: https://phmpt.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/125742_S1_M2_pharmkin-tabulated-summary.pdf, “MODULE 2.6.5. PHARMACOKINETICS TABULATED SUMMARY.” Yours Truly has included images of Page 7 and Page 8 of this report, which are the Biodistribution Tables for BNT162b2. (The BNT162b2 used in this experiment is the same one that was granted the initial FDA for use in the United States in December 2020.) Third: Stephanie Seneff, PhD, and Greg Nigh, wrote back in 2021 about the unintended consequences of the mRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” creating “unintended proteins.” Their paper is here: https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Worse-Than-the-Disease-Reviewing-Some-Possible-of-Seneff-Nigh/, “Worse Than the Disease? Reviewing Some Possible Unintended Consequences of the mRNA Vaccines Against COVID-19”, 16 June 2021, International Journal of Vaccine Theory, Practice and Research 2(1), May 10,2021 Page 389 – 430. The point is: there is an “exact understanding” of multiple aspects regarding the mRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” already.]

“From a regulatory perspective, getting approval for a vaccine with such inherent uncertainties should be difficult.”

[YT: Agreed— except that the “new FDA” is doing exactly that already (such as the recent FDA “approval” without any human trials testing of the “2025-2026 Formula COVID-19 Vaccines” by Pfizer-BioNTech, by Moderna, and by Novavax.)]

“Still, I do not believe the mRNA vaccines caused either mass harm on the one hand or saved 14 million lives on the other. Those estimates swing wildly based on speculative modeling, not concrete evidence. A recent modeling study conluded that the global coronavirus vaccination campaign saved 2.5 million lives from 2020 to 2024, mainly among the elderly.”

[YT: “Still I do not believe the mRNA vaccines caused either mass harm…” Really, Dr. Bhattacharya? Did you read through the OpenVAERS website? (https://openvaers.com/) Have you read through the thousands of actual reports of persons who took a COVID-19 “vaccine” and then either died from the injection, or had serious medical issues afterwards from the injection? Are you saying that these reports are “wildly based on speculative modeling?” Are you saying that these reports are not “concrete evidence?” Are you dismissing the extensive work of Ed Dowd, who analyzes statistical reports of claims from insurance companies, claims that have skyrocketed since the COVID-19 “vaccine” rollout in 2021? https://phinancetechnologies.com/, then click on the “Our Projects” PDF brochure on the webpage to find the “Current Projects” section, then click on any of the green arrows.]

“The scientific controversy over the vaccine’s effect on mortality rages on. Science isn’t propaganda agenda. It’s humility.”

[YT: Real science is truth. There isn’t a “controversy” about the “vaccine’s effect on mortality” — the COVID-19 “vaccines” have increased mortality across the board and across the world. Have you read Steve Kirsch’s Substack, Dr. Bhattacharya? (https://kirschsubstack.com/). Mr. Kirsch’s Substack has many articles that quote studies which show that the COVID-19 “vaccines” increase mortality across the board. However, since Mr. Kirsch is not a medical professional, that removes him from “credibility” in the medical professional world, as far as the NIH is concerned? It doesn’t matter that Mr. Kirsch makes his living from collecting and analyzing data (financial and medical)?]

“And when public health officials stopped communicating with humility, we lost much of the public, an absolute necessity for any vaccine platform.”

[YT: Actually: It’s when public health officials withheld the truth about the dangers and the deadliness of the COVID-19 “vaccines” (which the FDA knew about back in early 2021 — please see here: https://phmpt.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/5.3.6-postmarketing-experience.pdf, “5.3.6 CUMULATIVE ANALYSIS OF POST-AUTHORIZATION ADVERSE EVENT REPORTS OF PF-07302048 (BNT162B2) RECEIVED THROUGH 28-FEB-2021.” Please go to the APPENDIX 1. LIST OF ADVERSE EVENTS OF SPECIAL INTEREST section.) — and the public had to find out the truth themselves — that public health officials “lost much of the public.”]

“I am not here to litigate the past. I am here to chart a better path forward. That is why the NIH, under the leadership of HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., is investing in new vaccine technologies based on whole-virus inactivated vaccines, which offer a broader immune response and have a longer track record of safety and public acceptance.”

[YT: So, here, apparently, is the “kernel” of the op-ed. Dr. Bhattacharya is not interested in anything related to how dangerous and deadly the current types of COVID-19 “vaccines” have been, and still are. “Let bygones be bygones and just move on” seems to the situation. Not so fast, Doctor. And that “whole-virus inactivated vaccine” scheme that is central to the “Next Generation Gold Standard?” The “Universal Vaccine?” Which, according to the “Next Generation Gold Standard” ethos, may be developed in Petri-dishes in federal government-based facilities only? And the PATENT for which “Universal Vaccine” is owned by the current Acting Director of NIAID, Dr. Jeffery Taubenberger? (https://www.techtransfer.nih.gov/tech/tab-3388)]

“We are continuing the Operation Warp Speed model of investing in technology with the most potential to help Americans.”

[YT: And, will this “continued” Operation Warp Speed model again be done in such a way that important information is deliberately withheld from President Trump47, as was the case with the original Operation Warp Speed in President Trump’s first term?]

“We will move forward with scientific rigor, transparency, and humility. At the NIH, we will fund promising research based not on hype, but on evidence. And I will continue to use my platform to communicate candidly in public conversations where debate and disagreement are welcomed.”

[YT: “Humility” is always a good thing. So is TRUTH.]

“We are entering a new era of public health, grounded not in wishful thinking or performative consensus, but in open inquiry and respect for the American people’s intelligence. The only to rebuild trust is to earn it — one honest conversation at a time.”

[YT: The “one honest conversation at a time” must include the honest admission by the NIH / NIAID / FDA / CDC, that the entire COVID-19 “vaccine” disaster could have been prevented through FDA approval of using re-purposed items to prevent or to treat COVID-19 infection: Ivermectin, Hydroxycholorquine, Doxycycline, Zinc and Vitamin D supplementation. There are plenty of peer-reviewed, published scientific papers which prove that these work. Instead, the FDA, TO THIS DAY, still refuses to approve the use of these items to prevent or to treat COVID-19. Can you explain why this is still the case, Dr. Bhattacharya?]

THERE. MUST. BE. ACCOUNTABILITY.

THERE. MUST. BE. JUSTICE.

THERE. MUST. BE. TRUTH.

Health Friday 7.18.2025 Open Thread: Moderna, the FDA, and the NIH/NIAID

The header image for today’s post is courtesy of iStock and Google Images.

Health Friday is a series devoted to information about Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. As today’s offering speaks to the disaster of the COVID-19 “vaccines”, Yours Truly dedicates it to all persons, of whatever age or location, who have passed away from the negative effects of the COVID-19 “vaccines” that they had injected into their body.

There are Important Notifications from our host, Wolf Moon; the Rules of our late, good Wheatie; and, certain caveats from Yours Truly, of which readers should be aware. They are linked here. Note: Yours Truly has checked today’s offering for any AI-generated content. To the best of her knowledge and belief, there is one AI-generated image in The Focal Points article, cited below. If readers wish to add any AI-generated content to the discussion thread for today’s offering, they must cite their source. Thank you.

The phrase to keep in mind when reading today’s post is: Follow the money.

Today’s post begins here: https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/fda-commits-grave-betrayal-fully, “FDA Commits Grave Betrayal: Fully Approves Deadly Genetic Injections for Infants”, by Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, 11 July 2025. There is an embedded video interview with Mr. Hulscher in this article. This article and interview regard the FDA “full approval” on 10 July 2025 of the Moderna modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine”, SPIKEVAX, to be used on infants and young children from age 6 months to 11 years old. A screenshot of a portion of the Table 2. from this article is below, showing the amounts of “loose” DNA in this “vaccine”:

The published scientific paper that is linked in the above Hulscher article is here: https://publichealthpolicyjournal.com/review-of-calls-for-market-removal-of-covid-19-vaccines-intensify-risks-far-outweigh-theoretical-benefits/, “Review: Calls for Market Removal of COVID-19 Vaccines Intensify as Risks Far Outweigh Theoretical Benefits”, Nicolas Hulscher, Mary Bowden, Peter A. MCullough, 28 January 2025.

Yours Truly now turns to a crucial component of the Moderna modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine” situation: the “tied to the hip” relationship that this company has with the NIAID (National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases), part of the NIH (National Institutes of Health.) Both the NIAID and the NIH are institutes of the federal government Department of Health and Human Services (HHS.) Katherine Watt, of Bailiwick News, has studied and written about the “coziness” between Big Pharma entities such as Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna with federal government agencies, such as the FDA. Please see: https://bailiwicknews.substack.com/p/why-pfizer-and-moderna-and-fda-are, “Why Pfizer and Moderna and FDA are working toward government authorization to inject babies and small children”, 23 March 2022. Ms. Watt includes a statement made by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. in 2021, on this situation. Please see: https://wsau.com/2021/12/31/robert-f-kennedy-jr-explains-why-fauci-is-going-after-children/, by Meg Ellefson, 31 December 2021. A screenshot from the Bailiwick News article on this is below:

There are SEC filings and “Confidential Agreements” between Moderna, the FDA. and the NIAID, regarding the funding and development of mRNA “vaccines.” There are patent co-ownership and revenue-sharing agreements between Moderna and the NIAID. There is a Moderna – NIH Confidential Agreement that goes back to 2015.

The trail begins here: https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/moderna-make-milestone-payments-nih-covid-vaccine-2023-02-24/,”Moderna to make milestone payments to NIH for COVID vaccine”, 24 February 2023. Please see the screenshot from this article, below:

By the way, milestone payments would include payments for items such as, developing the “latest version” of a COVID-19 modRNA “vaccine” — for examples: the Moderna (SPIKEVAX) “2025-2026 COVID-19 Formula Vaccine” that was just “recommended” by the ACIP committee of the CDC; and, the FDA “full approval” of SPIKEVAX being used on infants and young children age 6 months to 11 years old, which “full approval” was granted on 10 July 2025. It appears that Moderna had attempted to “modify” or “avoid” certain types of sharing agreements stipulations, royalty payments to the HHS (via the NIAID), and HHS – Moderna co-owned patents agreements; and, for which, the company was taken to court by the HHS. The decision was rendered against Moderna, with an order to make a multi-million dollar “catch-up payment” to HHS -NIAID.

Another aspect of the trail is here: https://thehill.com/opinion/congress-blog/4533574-how-the-national-institutes-of-health-became-a-den-of-cronyism/, by Sen. Rand Paul, MD (R-KY), 15 March 2024. Please see the screenshot from this article, below:

Now, to the 2015 “Confidential Agreements” between Moderna and the NIH. The document is found here: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6935195-NIH-Moderna-Confidential-Agreements/, November 2015. This document has numerous “amendments” and “additions” that go through the year 2018 — and, the last of which appears to “cover” all items related to COVID-19 “vaccines”. On page 16 of the document, with special attention to page 19, start the CRADA stipulations (Cooperative Research and Development Agreement stipulations between Moderna and the NIH.) The language here has numerous Proprietary Information redactions; however, it appears to be broad enough to cover the later co-ownership by Moderna and the NIH of the SPIKEVAX patents and their Expiry Dates (more on these below.)

Here are page 19 and a portion of page 20 of the NIH/NIAID and Moderna CRADA agreement, below:

Recall that the director of the NIAID in 2015 was Dr. Anthony Fauci; and, the director of the NIH in 2015 was Dr. Francis Collins.

The third part of the trail is here, the SEC filing that details the NIH – Moderna agreements to share COVID-19 “vaccine” development, patents, and royalty payments for use of said “vaccines”, is found here: https://www.sec.gov/ix?=docs/Archives/edgar/data/1682852/000168285223000011/mrna-20221231.html, filed 31 December 2022.

Page 41 of this document names the “partners” that will be included in the agreements: DARPA; BARDA; and, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Page 43 of this document details the SPIKEVAX patents and Expiry Dates that will be co-owned by Moderna and the NIH. A screenshot of this page is below:

There is also a “vaccine mechanisms” series of sections in this agreement. A screenshot of one of these sections is below:

And, there is a section regarding the “Drug Design Studio” section of the SEC document. Please see the screenshot from this section, below:

On 7 July 2025, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., cancelled the 10 July meeting that was scheduled for the USPSTF committee of the HHS (United States Preventive Services Task Force committee.) If Sec. Kennedy, Jr., can do this, why can’t he do something to modify / rescind / cancel the NIH / NIAID – Moderna “Confidential Agreements”, the related royalty-sharing payments agreements, and the 31 December 2022 SEC filing? Is it because of the “SPIKEVAX Patents and Expiry Dates” agreement, the screenshot of which from the SEC filing is above, and which runs, in total, until 22 October 2041? Are his hands tied? “Inquiring minds want to know.”

FLASH ADDENDUM: Our good Gail Combs asked to have the following added to today’s offering, regarding the development of a new BLACK PLAGUE strain variation that was just done by scientist in Israel. Yours Truly is also adding another item related to other work developing BLACK PLAGUE strain variations.

ISRAELI scientists have just developed an mRNA-based BLACK PLAGUE (Yersinia Pestis, or Y. Pestis) vaccine, using a lab-modified gene and adding N1-Methylpseudouridine as the lipid nanoparticle “delivery system.” Please see: https://jonfleetwood.substack.com/cp/168494356, “Israel Engineers Mutant Plague — Puts Its Genes in mRNA Shot That Makes Human Cells Produce Virulence and Immune-Evasion ‘Black Death’ Proteins: Journal ‘Advanced Science'”, 16 July 2025. This is the “BLACK PLAGUE version” of the modRNA + N1-Methylpseudouridine COVID-19 “vaccines” — except that the “payload” is a lab-created genetically altered and more virulent version of the BLACK PLAGUE.

Recall that Yours Truly has written extensively about the mechanism of the N1-Methylpseudouridine used in the Pfizer-BioNTech and in the Moderna modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” (there’s the connection to Moderna.) This lab-created compound ingredient replaces the natural Uridine in the COVID-19 “vaccinated” person’s body, kicking the door wide open for catastrophic immune system evasion by said “vaccine”: evasion that will occur throughout the body and also the brain. The connection to both Moderna and to Pfizer-BioNTech in regards the use of N1-Methylpseudouridine is that BOTH companies specifically included this lab-created chemical compound in their modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines”, the description of which inclusion IS IN THE PATENT DOCUMENTS THAT WERE FILED BY EACH COMPANY. This begs the question: Did the Israeli scientists pay either Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna for the “rights” to use this compound IN THEIR BLACK PLAGUE VARIATION “VACCINE” EXPERIMENTS?

The peer-reviewed paper that is referred to in the Jon Fleetwood article is here: https://doi.org/10.1002/advs.202501286, “Novel Bivalent mRNA-LNP Vaccine for Highly Effective Protection Against Pneumonic Plague”, Dan Peer, et al., 25 April 2025. A screenshot from the Fleetwood article is below:

But wait, there’s more! The Fleetwood article links to a paper published in 2024 regarding research by the United States Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Chemical Biological Center in Gunpowder, Maryland, ALSO on lab-creating a variation of the BLACK PLAGUE. This variation was “cultured” in a “bath” of Escherichia coli (E. coli, the same type of “culturing material” that is used by both Pfizer-BioNTech and by Moderna to produce their respective modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines.” The paper is here: https://doi.org/10.1099/acmi.0.000723.v3, “Towards a Yersinia Pestis lipid A recreated in an Escherichia coli scaffold genome”, Nathan D. McDonald, Erin E. Antoshak, 17 July 2024. A screenshot of the Abstract of this paper is below:

In Yours Truly’s opinion: The entire “let’s make a lab-created RNA + lipid nanoparticle vaccine” situation is out of control. The entire “let’s alter a gene or two from a deadly infectious disease and make a variation of this disease” situation is out of control.

THERE. MUST. BE. JUSTICE.

THERE. MUST. BE. TRUTH.

“We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”

“Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”

If this site gets shut down, please remember various ways to get back in touch with the rest of the gang:

Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.

Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.

We can give in to despair…or we can be defiant and fight back in any way that we can.

Joe Biden didn’t win.

Just sayin’!

And remember…….

Until victory, have faith!

And trust the big plan, too!

And as always….

ENJOY THE SHOW

NOTE:

What you see above is essentially the “Monday Placeholder”. If you see nothing more, and no different, then you are seeing the placeholder.

If I have time and the inclination, I may swap in a new Word of the Week, some new videos, and possibly even an added topic.

Today, I will leave the placeholder alone, for reference, but I will add a topic. Thanks!

The Strategy I See Behind the New “Universal Vaccine Platform”

Some of you have to be asking yourselves why Robert F. Kennedy Jr. seems to have gone from being an opponent of vaccines, to being a proponent of them. I will try to explain.

To begin with, it helps to read the following document (H/T to PAVACA for producing these images). You can use this link, or the images below it.

HHS, NIH Launch Next-Generation Universal Vaccine Platform for Pandemic-Prone Viruses

LINK: https://www.hhs.gov/press-room/hhs-nih-announces-generation-gold-standard.html

It is hard for me to put into words, how much of a change this really is. But let me give you a quick “TL;DR” list of the big-ticket items.

  • Big Pharma is completely cut out of this platform – it’s US government owned and driven.
  • The vaccines are designed to be resistant to evolution of the pathogens they protect against. The vaxxes themselves are immune to “scariants”.
  • The vaccines completely abandon mRNA, cDNA, recombinant antigen, spike protein, lipid nanoparticle, and all genetic and related technologies.
  • The vaccines abandon Fauci’s always-failing strategy of targeting current variants, and instead seek to handle both current and future variants.
  • The result is fewer and less frequent shots. The better the shot, the more this is true.
  • The vaccines must pass rigorous safety standards, or otherwise fail to be approved.
  • The vaccines change direction and focus, from smaller subunits to whole-virus immunity.
  • The vaccines are potentially capable of inhibiting transmission.

IMO this is not just about changing the vaccines – it’s about changing minds in government science.

Most scientists, sadly, are sheep. They have neither the courage nor the inclination to challenge anything in the current scientific narrative – particularly as reported by our toxic media. If the media says “most scientists believe X”, then most scientists think this is true, and won’t bother to check, much less actively disagree.

The evil media has trained us all to believe certain myths.

  • There will be more and more exotic diseases coming at us from nature
  • There will need to be more and more vaccines, and more and more injections of them
  • Vaccines get better by using newer technology, not by working better for people
  • Vaccine hesitancy is a bad thing, and must be prevented at all costs
  • Vaccines are all safe, and rumors that any are bad, are dangerous

Apparently, despite the iron fist of Faucism, somebody in NIAID was thinking in ways that lead in the opposite direction from where Pfizer was taking us. I suspect that these forces sat tight, waited for “reinforcements to arrive” (Trump, RFKJ, and Dr. Jay), and had their proposal working up the chain of command as soon as Trump won.

Will this vaccine approach work? IMO it will work better than mRNA. Whether it works well enough to pass Kennedy’s new standard, based on comparison to placebos and true controls, is another question.

For the sake of those who still want vaccines, I hope so.

I suspect that these vaccines will be safer than mRNA, but not completely safe – particularly with a pathogen like COVID. As long as these vaccines are not mandated, I’m OK with their existence. In any case, the vaccines will have to prove themselves safe and effective.

Will I trust that determination?

Maybe. Or maybe not.

Health Friday Open Thread 5.9.2025: About That “Universal Vaccine”–There’s More Than Meets the Eye, Part One

Health Friday is a series devoted to information regarding Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics.

There are Important Notifications by our host, Wolf Moon; the Rules of our late, good Wheatie; and, certain caveats from Yours Truly, of which readers should be aware. They are linked here. NOTE: Yours Truly has checked today’s offering for any AI-generated content. To the best of her knowledge and belief, there is none. If readers wish to post anything in the discussion thread for today’s post that is AI-generated, they must cite their source. Thank you.

Due to the nature of today’s topic, there will be two separate posts. Part One, today’s offering, starts here: https://www.hhs.gov/press-room/hhs-nih-announces-generation-gold-standard.html, “HHS, NIH Launch Next-Generation Universal Vaccine Platform for Pandemic-Prone Viruses”, 1 May 2025. Please see the following screenshots from the announcement:

To unpack the announcement, Yours Truly will begin with a 2016 document from the EPA regarding beta-propiolactone, aka BPL (as in BPL-1357): https://www.epa.gov/sites/default/files/2016-09/documents/beta-propiolactone.pdf. Please see the following screenshots from this document:

Notice the risks associated with inhalation of beta-propiolactone (which is being used in the development and testing of the “new Gold Standard” intranasal version of the “new Universal Pandemic Vaccine”, BPL-1357.)

Note the language regarding irritations of various types; of damage to the corneas; convulsions; and “extreme acute toxicity.”

Note the language about cancer being induced in lab rats and mice by the use of beta-propiolactone, but no information being available regarding the inducement of cancer in humans by the use of beta-propiolactone.

The funds for Generation Gold Standard, in the amount of $500 million dollars, will come from reallocation of monies within BARDA (Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority: https://www.fiercebiotech.com/biotech/hhs-unveils-500m-universal-vaccine-initiative-calls-biden-era-covid-vax-accelerator, “HHS unveils $500M universal vaccine initiative, calls Biden-era COVID vax accelerator ‘wasteful'”, 1 May 2025. Please see the screenshots from this article, below:

Both Dr. Memoli and Dr. Taubenberger have been with the NIH / NIAID for years. Also, note the tiny subject pool of 45 adult subjects in the Phase 1 study of BPL-1357.

On a “tangential point”, there is this FDA announcement of 10 April 2025: https://www.fda.gov.media/186092/download, “Roadmap to Reducing Animal Testing in Preclinical Safety Studies”, by new FDA Director Dr. Marty Makary. Sasha Latypova analyzed the announcement here: https://sashalatypova.substack.com/p/you-didnt-want-that-mrna-vax-tested, “You didn’t want that mRNA vax tested only on 8 mice? Marty Makary, FDA, has a solution — no more mice!”, 28 April 2025.

That’s right. Dr. Makary wants to reduce, then end, animal testing for vaccines in the preclinical stage, and to substitute testing them instead by using in silico models; then, to move to human subject testing; and, even to NOT have ANY human subject clinical trials at all in “certain circumstances.” Please see the screenshots below from the Latypova article:

Yours Truly understands that the use of animals in lab experiments must be done in the most humane manner possible — no more of the “Fauci tortured Beagles” situations. However, one is of the opinion that there is a place for using animals in lab experiments — to study physical reactions and/or reproductive issues related to the drug or injectable under investigation before human tests begin: something that an in silico model or an AI model cannot do. And, the part about no clinical trials at all in “certain circumstances”:

Note: the red text in the screenshots above link to other articles and information from the Latypova article. Also, recall that Ms. Latypova worked in medical and pharmaceutical techology for years before retiring from the field.

This is the same Dr. Marty Makary who recommended that pregnant women get COVID-19 “vaccinated”:

To finish today’s Part One offering, Yours Truly presents the involvement of United States Defense Department in the use of the “AFLQ adjuvant” that is going to be tested in clinical trials for BPL-1357: https://hivresearch.org/hiv-research/alf-adjuvants. This is the United States military research program into “Military HIV.” This article had a link that led to the following press release by the United States Army, from 2021: https://wrair.health.mil/News-Media/Press-Releases/Article/3166852/phase-1-clinical-trial-of-wrair-developed-covid-19-vaccine-begins/, 5 April 2021. The clinical trial is NCT04784767, that began with 29 subject enrollees on 5 April 2021, and had an “Estimated Study Completion Date” of 30 October 2023 (https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT04784767.) The title of the clinical trial: “SARS-CoV-2 Spike Ferritin Nanoparticle Vaccine with ALFQ Adjuvant for Prevention of COVID-19 in Healthy Adults.” Below is a screenshot of the WRAIR article (WRAIR stands for Walter Reed Army Institute of Research):

Note the statement by Dr. Modjarrad that this “US Army COVID-19 Vaccine” would “pave the way for a universal vaccine to protect against not only the current virus, but also counter future variants…” — “universal vaccine” — sound familiar? “Who is driving this bus?” comes to mind.

To be continued in Part Two.

THERE. MUST. BE. JUSTICE.

DEAR MAGA: Open Thread 20250225 ❀ Tuesday Placeholder ❀ Get Smart – Buy a Globe!

We continue to mourn the untimely passing of our beloved compatriot DePat, known in real life as Susie Sampson, and also as author Patricia Holden.

Until we have a dedicated author for the Tuesday daily open thread, I will be posting “placeholders” like this one, which may or may not be spiced up with additional content.

Gudthots will take DePat’s old Thursday daily open thread.

Please notify me in advance if you would like to post anything in lieu of the Tuesday placeholder. We welcome all content – the topic doesn’t matter.

Get Smart – Buy a Globe!

When I was trying to get somebody to take DePat’s Tuesday open thread – meaning THIS thread – and there were no takers, I toyed with the idea of turning this open into a kind of comedy hour. The satire would be brutal – brutal enough that somebody would quickly decide to shut me up by volunteering to take the open. OR SO I HOPED!

I was going to call myself Flat Earth Wolf, and I planned to ferociously but facetiously advocate everything that most people here disagreed with, if not depise. Flat earth, no virus, deep state Trump, woke right – the worse, the better!

Yeah, at first it sounded kinda fun, but then I realized that it would just drive people away. And even I wouldn’t enjoy it.

SIGH.

Eventually, I just decided to use this open to post my own honest opinions about things. The beauty of that is, if somebody disagrees with me, they only have to volunteer to take the open to shut me up – but I don’t have to be funny or interesting, which is work.

I can just spout off and state my piece – and that is exactly what I’m going to do!

Now, as you have seen, I’ve spent a lot of time being “fair” to flat earth, by making sure people who want to post any side of any debate can do so here – and that is still happening. Most of the time, I’m encouraging people to post views that may oppose not only my own views, but everybody else’s, too.

But it’s time to be more….. how shall I say….. “complete” about things.

I try to be “nice” about a lot of “science” that “has issues”. I just try to smile and not pull out any deadly weapons of argumentation.

No serrated blades. No 100-round clips. No razor-studded baseball bats. Maybe a hanky. Yes. A perfumed hanky. Cough. Cough. Pardon me!

WELL – NOT TODAY, AND NOT RIGHT HERE, AND NOT RIGHT NOW.

¿Comprende?

Pardon me for just one moment. I’m gonna be tougher about science. Because we have to be tough. We are up against a very organized force.

The Yellow Berets, also known as Public Health Service trainees, were a group of physicians who participated in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Associate Training Program during the Vietnam War era. They were often derogatorily referred to as “Yellow Berets” by supporters of the war who viewed them as avoiding military service.

We are up against some really bad people, who are fully prepared to tell any lie for their purposes. So this opposing army – OUR army – can’t tolerate weak, wrong, and misled science in the forward combat positions. SURE – if you want to work on the base back in safe territory, you can believe all the bad and broken science you want. But if you want to get out in front, you have to subject your own biases to the relentless sharpening forces of TRUTH – and in particular EVIDENCE.

Some things are very certain out in the front lines. One of them is that this planet is a sphere, roughly.

NOW – like most other professional scientists, I haz science skilz in a lot of different areas, because most true scientists are like that. We don’t turn off the science when we walk out of school or job – and our opinions can be particularly relevant in looking at other people’s “expert” stuff, and asking terrible, sharp, venomous questions that the “experts” in those areas are hiding from, or pretending don’t exist.

Much “organization” in current, problematic, sick, “mainstream” science is done to insulate compromised insiders from pesky intelligent outsiders.

Decorum, you know. That’s it. Decorum.

Well, too bad.

BUT we have to hold ourselves to the same revolutionary standards.

Yadig? Of course! What’s good for vaccines, is good for “no virus”, “flat earth”, and many other things.

Globe Earth Wolf has a recommendation that will ultimately test your faith in God, by beating on it. He’s gonna BEAT your armor until it is HARDER, and the first beat-down is that you need to buy an actual globe and STUDY IT.

They’re CHEAP AS DIRT. Most are made in CHYYYNA. But you still have to buy one. I don’t care where it’s made. BUY A GLOBE. And if you already have one, pull it out of the closet, attic or basement.

Buy one at a garage sale, if you have to.

I recommend buying a globe that is at least 12 inches in diameter, and is mounted so that the tilt of Earth’s axis relative to the sun is clearly demonstrable.

Blue oceans which are highly differentiated in color from the land masses are very helpful. Political boundaries are somewhat immaterial, although they do help you LOCATE things more quickly and precisely, and if they are current, the globe can be used to increase your current geopolitical understanding. On the other hand, a vintage globe can be useful for more historical understanding. In either case, I recommend blue oceans, because some vintage globes hide this physically useful truth, by making everything somewhat off-white, sepia and tan, simply to look good on furniture, as opposed to BEATING ON YOUR BRAIN, which is my purpose.

What I am doing is actually a stupid trick from science – a silly secret among the “top men”. And top women, but let’s not get TOO bogged down in DEI.

You see, MODELS – simple physical models – are behind so much of the best science and so many of the best scientists. I have watched this throughout my entire life, and it’s hilarious. Good models are what won Watson and Crick the Nobel Dynamite & Bankster Prize for DNA, and Doudna and Charpentier the same for CRISPR-Cas9. Good models are how all the best work on C60/Buckyballs/Fullerenes was done.

Good models are how stereochemistry was explained in the late 19th century. Good models are – over and over – how organic chemistry and then biochemistry were worked out in the 19th and 20th centuries.

When I went to school with a bunch of scary smart people, I quickly realized that I could use my cheap plastic molecular model set, which I was ironically forced to buy, but wisely chose to actually use, to find all sorts of science which had apparently evaded older students and even our professors for years. Simple, stupid, cheap, plastic and aluminum, “straws and jacks” (not even balls and sticks) was all it took to figure out realities that would ALWAYS show up in chemical behavior, spectroscopy, and quantum mechanical calculations.

I would SHOW PEOPLE this stuff with models – and you could always tell the winners from the losers by how fast they would start using their own “required but never used” model set to figure things out – by how carefully (or stupidly and carelessly) they would cut their little bonds – by how carefully or carelessly they would grab the right “jack” to get the right angles at the atoms – by how strongly they would reason past the limitations of the cheap models – and by how quickly they would spend some of their hard-earned but very limited cash to buy a SECOND or THIRD model set, to make even bigger and better models possible.

I am doing the exact same thing here, to make you smarter – to make YOU a winner.

Because we can’t have too much winning if you aren’t on the same page as Trump, as well as the historical patriots who really did walk this SPHERICAL planet and built this great civilization – and GOD – who made this WORKING BALL on which WORKING LIFE not only EXISTS but THRIVES and then hopefully carries on His PRO-LIFE MISSION of creating and persisting a life-filled and God-loving universe, which is something GOD WANTS BECAUSE IT’S GOOD.

Just my opinion?

Yeah. But still – buy a globe. You will learn so much from it.

I recommend keeping your globe in some place you visit regularly. I stand in front of my globe generally 2-4 times a day, and I probably toy with it at least daily. When we’re having science discussions here, especially after one of Steve’s science posts, I may spend a half hour with that globe.

What am I looking at?

I am looking at seasons. I’m looking at angles of the sun. I’m looking at hours of daylight, twilight, and darkness. But that’s just the beginning.

Most importantly, I’m looking at thousands of tiny details and saying “OH, THAT MAKES SENSE”. Airplane flights. Jet lag. Shipping routes. Planetary distances. Phone conversations. Satellites. “4 AM”. Russia, CHYYYNA, Japan. Burma Shave. TAIWAN. Why Hawaii has always been filled with trouble and bullshit. Look at your globe and every little thing starts to make sense.

This is very critical. When you have a real, true, winning solution in science, like a spherical planet, it just makes all the little stuff WORK. All the thousands of minor details WORK for any scientist who looks at the model, and kicks the tires. This is why Newton is not “replaced” by Einstein – he’s just being helped out around the edges where things get weird.

The problem with “Flat Earth” (and other things I’ll talk about later) is that one big mistake made from an emotionally attractive bias to the past tries (and fails) to upset all the little yet critical stuff other people are doing or have done – meaning millions of honest, good-faith observations. THEN, the same people who break all the little yet critical stuff for everybody else, when confronted, just throw back some non-working, “causes even more trouble”, evasion of an answer, and pretend that they answered the problem, when they didn’t. And that is exactly why nobody takes them seriously, and most people ignore them.

In science, you have to make something that lets OTHER PEOPLE explain or predict stuff on their own, successfully, nearly every time, to actually have a product that sells AND GETS RE-SOLD. Newton did that. Chemistry did that. Electromagnetism did that. Relativity did that. Quantum mechanics did that. Particle physics did that.

When you look at the globe, try to predict how long automobile trips and plane flights take. Look at where islands are. Look at where history happened. Look at where mankind started, wandered, and settled. Look at climate. Look at weather. Look at temperatures. Look at where those temperatures are on the globe.

Right there, the semi-frozen pizza stumbles hard, but the globe, with two poles on one axis, just works like crazy. Everything is nicely – no – perfectly explained – and it’s explained all together at the same time, by a very simple model.

Your actual globe will make you a solid and strong glober. And scientist. And lover of truth.

And then you will become even stronger, because – believe it or not – you will become stronger in FAITH. You will start to see how God makes stuff WORK – and I mean REALLY WORK – simply, powerfully, independently – and that pattern is something you can predict will show up again, and again, and again.

God makes stuff that WORKS. And KEEPS WORKING.

But I’m getting ahead of things.

So buy that globe, or get the old one out, and let’s talk about it. Make that globe WORK for you. Let it help you see the TRUTH.

And as it brings you closer to TRUTH, it will bring you closer to GOD.
